  • Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections Through the Use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection
    InfectionControl.tips Join. Contribute. Make A Difference. http://infectioncontrol.tips Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections through the use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection By: Dr. Mark Stibich Reviewed by: Andrew Duong Date : May 13, 2016 Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a global problem, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, life-long disability to some survivors, and requiring billions of dollars of additional care. While the rate of device- and procedure-associated infections have shown improvement within United States acute care facilities, greater consideration should be given to other well- established sources of infection; such as the contaminated hospital environment [1]. The link between the environment and HAIs is best explained by what is known as the ‘prior room occupancy risk’ [2]. Patients admitted to rooms that were previously occupied by patients infected with common multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Clostridium difficile [3] (C. diff), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [4] and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) [5] have been found to be at a 2.5, 1.5 and 2.25 times increased risk for developing the same infection, respectively [6]. Since there is no direct contact between the two patients, this risk of infection is almost exclusively associated with the environment. If not properly disinfected, these MDROs can linger on high touch surfaces for weeks to months, serving as a continued transmission risk for many future patients [7]. A growing number of healthcare organizations have turned to an innovative pulsed xenon ultraviolet (UV) light technology to complement standard cleaning protocols, with a goal to decrease HAIs. Pulsed xenon UV (PX-UV) disinfection (introduced to the healthcare market in 2010 by Xenex Disinfection Services) is the only UV disinfection technology shown to help hospitals effectively reduce their HAI rates and the body of evidence continues to mount [5-12].

  • Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Motivation of Bank Employees and Effects of Culture in the Islamic Banking Sector A Case Study of Al Rajhi Bank Being a thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In The University of Hull, United Kingdom By ABDULLAH AL-WEHABIE Master of Science in Business Management (MSc), University of Hull, 2007 Postgraduate Diploma in Research Training, University of Hull, 2009 July 2011 ABSTRACT Motivation has been thoroughly explored by researchers in many social science disciplines, including business studies in general and human resources management in particular. The primary purpose of the research reported here is to investigate how culture affects motivation within the context of Saudi Arabia and its Islamic banking sector, with reference to workers at branches of Al Rajhi Bank in Riyadh. This research adopts an epistemological interpretive perspective. Epistemology is primarily concerned with how we understand the world and our interpretation of what is happening. Thus this research is that of a practical epistemology as it looks at how workers at the bank interpret their lives through daily practice. Thus it has an ultimately practical aim: to make recommendations as to ways in which the Al Rajhi management could improve the motivation and thus the performance of its workforce. A qualitative approach is adopted, drawing on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with managers, supervisors and employees of the bank. The study examines motivational theories in a practical context with particular reference to major cultural dimensions, especially religion, which is found to play a very important role in the Saudi context.
